Daniel Craigis mad as hell.
“And, actually, the way to get it right is to relax.

Once I relaxed, it worked a treat.”
Why all the stress?
“And you’re building the engine as it’s barreling towards the point of no return.”

Because that phone call to your wife saying ‘I’ve broken my leg’ is not pleasant."
Fortunately, he came around to agree with that."
“It was not about anything specific,” says Broccoli.

It didn’t work out.
It happens all the time in movies.
It’s just, in a Bond movie, it becomes this huge event that gets blown up."
But it was obviously not what they wanted."
Broccoli admits that she and Wilson considered shutting down the production entirely following Boyle’s departure.
“Cary wasn’t available originally,” says Broccoli.
“But he became available.
He was very excited to join us, and we kept going.”
“She’s the best fing writer around,” he says.
Rami Malek, who plays the film’s villain Safin, confirms Waller-Bridge had considerable input on his character.
“She had quite an impact on what I was doing,” says theBohemian Rhapsodystar, 38.
Broccoli insists Craig’s spy is a good fit for the age of #MeToo.
“He’s evolved, like men are evolving, one hopes,” says the producer.
“Daniel’s brought a lot of humanity into the role and to his relationships in the film.
He’s got vulnerabilities.
He’s much more 21st-century.”
“She is a fierce, opinionated working woman,” says Lynch, 32, of her character.
The “news” became a massive story to both the delight and annoyance of Broccoli.
“People write these theories without knowing,” she says.
“But we’re always happy that people are interested in what’s happening in our world.”
“She’s a strong woman, for sure,” says the actress, 31.
With the script unfinished and the start of production looming, Fukunaga was under the gun.
Still, the director had no intention of rushing things.
“That took a lot longer than we imagined.”
Says Fukunaga: “Haste makes waste.
“Which, of course, we completely blow a hole through at the beginning of this one.
Adds Seydoux, 35: “S happens!
Everything falls apart.”
This leads Bond to Cuba and onto the trail of Malek’s mysterious Safin.
“He’s really a mean old thing,” says Broccoli of the villain.
In the movie’s trailer, Safin also appears to have facial scarring.
“Blofeld is in Belmarsh Prison,” says Broccoli.
“[But] he’s actually communicating to the SPECTRE agents.”
Shooting onNo Time to Diefinally began at the end of April 2019 in Jamaica.
NoandLive and Let Diewere filmed on the island.
But Fukunaga’s train threatened to go off the rails when Craig was hurt while shooting a scene.
You know, 10 weeks is sometimes the length of a movie shoot.
Not on a Bond movie.
It’s just a small part of it.
So I was like, ‘Okay, let’s do this.’
For now, the producer is happy to put off the task.
“I’m in denial, to be honest, about Daniel.
I can’t really confront that right now.”
